We have added additional fields on the item edit and import areas to support these new requirements. The new fields include the following: Color, Size, Material, Pattern, Gender, Age Group. These new fields are required for certain types of items specifically apparel. Please check with Google for further information on if your items require these new fields are not.

Please note that if your items come in multiple colors, sizes, patterns etc and an attribute is defined for Size, Color, Pattern, Gender etc the attribute will be used instead of the single defined field.

We will begin sending feeds with the new fields included if available starting next week. Google will continue to accept the feeds without the new fields until the September 22nd date.

Scheduled maintenance will be performed Sunday August 7th at 9:00pm pacific time. The maintenance will consist of database updates and internal security enhancements and will last approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour.

During maintenance the sites and manage area will show the user a maintenance message asking them to return after the maintenance is complete.
